3rtss. TUESDAY, JANUARY 5, 1864. Sir We can take no notice of anonymous comm.. nications. We do not return rolected manuscripts. At-Voluntary correspondence solicited from all parts of the world, and especially from our di ff erent Military and naval department!. When used, it will be paid Mr, The Pennsylvania Legislature. The improbability that the opposition in the State Senate will oppose the organiza tion of that body, by denying the right of the Union members to retain the present • officers until a new election can be effected, increases with our knowledge of the situa tion. Public opinion is so strongly against any attempt to oppose the organi2ation, that it would scarcely be made, even were we sure that the sense of propriety would not prevent it. A Union majority in the Senate was so clearly intended by the people that, to use the absence of SenatOr Warm as an opportunity for raising the minority .to power, would be an insult to the will of the people which will not`be forgiven or forgot ten. The sixteen gentlemen who compose 'the opposition will hardly wish to lose the confidence of all upright men among their own constituents. The nominations in the Union caucuses yesterday we believe to be excellent. Mr. HENRY C. Jormsorr will certainly be the Speaker of the House. If Mr. JOHN P. Pitairiv's election is uncertain, that of Mr. HursTEn Cz.vmun, the Opposition candi date for the Speakership of the Senate, should be impossible. The Union members of the Senate must stand firm, for they have the support of the people. The New Councils. The organization of the City Councils was quietly effected yesterday, and we have now to see it the old abuses are to end, and ho nest legislation to begin. The Union ma jority is able to reform the civic govern ment, and Councils cannot hold another meeting before the . work should begin. Mr. Lynn, the president of Select Council, has clearly defined, in his opening speech, the principles of impartial and wise legislation, and if these are respected and understood, the citizens of Philadelphia will no longer complain of mismanagement and corruption, and the test of partisanship will no longer affect appointments. Councils should break down all party feeling in the Union ranks, and this can only be done by admitting the loyal Democracy to an equal share in the government. It is certain that the action of Councils will be closely criticised by the people. From the pledges its members have made, and the high personal character of many of them, we have little doubt that the administration of the city affairs for 1861 will be loyal, wise, and energetic. The Progress of Opinion. . The outright and uncompromising pro gress which - the - war has made in the gene ral hatred of slavery, has few better illus trations than the appended -editorial. of the Catholic Telegraph. This journal is edited by Father PURCELL, a brother of the Arch bishop of Cincinnati, and, along with Dr. Bito - wEsox's Review, has taken the leader .ship of the best class of Catholic opinion : People say that the War is drawing to a close; that a cessation of hostilities is to be asked for, &a. We hope it may be so ; but we hope, too, that those who will have 'the interests of the North in their keeping will insist on the total abolition of slavery. Hello be not done,-what will we nave gained by the war? Allow slavery to raise its head again, and our efforts will have been in vain ; destroy it, root and branch, without mercy, without hesitation ; destroy it with every demonstration of horror for its memory, and we will have gained much by the war. The unity of the nation will be preserved, peace will be on as sure a basis as aught in this world can be, and other nations will not mock us when they point at our battle fields, and say the men of the North died in vain. We must have some compensation for the blood and treasure which we have been forced to spend ; this we will find in the abolition of slavery: , We commend this idea of compensation to the editorship of the World. The opinion just quoted will naturally kill the following, which we take from the Al bany Argus : ""If our past has been one of progress, clearly ate we row on the road of retrogression. Nor are we compensated when assured that our own politi- cal deterioration has purchased the elevation of the bondsmen of the South. That boon, of doubtful value to them, presents fearful problems to us. That European race which has led the civilizatibn of the world through centuries, now invites the African race to share its political rights, and help it in the task of self:government. In such a partnership the standaid of our own race must be lowered. The canoe of the black man does not call for any such saorifice.3, No such sacrifice is required; no such de terioration is in prospect. Only bad actions, i bad institutions, bad laws, degrade a race. Is the Proclamation of Freedom immoral? Has the President committed a crime in proclaiming emancipation ? How far have we deteriorated since the soldiers have be- come liberators, and the slaves. freemen? Of what character was the peculiar pro gress of slavery which led us into such a war as this? What, indeed, would be our progress if we should try to recover slavery ? Still, the opinion we have quoted has some value. It is a perceptible advance upon the spirit that so bitterly assailed the installation of Freedom. Emancipation and Abolition are accepted as thorough-going facts, if they are not embraced as truths. Slivery is abandoned, though not the slave holder; and the last strategy of the McClel lan party turns -upon " the antagonism of races." Nevertheless, much has been gained. A Congressional correspondent, remem bering that Mr. FERNANDO WOOD voted for the House bill appropriating $20,000,000 for b9unties to recruits, and refused to vote for an amendment limiting the said bounties to white men, is bold to say that before many months Mr. WOOD will be making war speeches. " Conservative" sentiment has gone to such a low extreme, that it has no longer the possibility of catching that popular flood which leads on to fortune. In the progress of things, however, the Peace -party may be making war when that great war party, the nation is making peace. The Troubles in Texas. The news from Texas overbrims with interest. The last message of the rebel Texan Elovernor, P. R. LVBEITCIC, is very extensive, and dwells upon many points which go to prove that the game is up with secession. 3he wholesale conscription measures advocated by the rebel Congress are extended to yet severer limits in Texas. Rebellion is making its last gasps there. All between the ages of sixteen and sixty must be enrolled. May and December alike must be dragged into the service, to keep the mill of rebeldom agoing. - This was commenced a year ago nearly, so that by the law of progress, fresh conscription will place dotards of four score and babies of half a score cheek by jowl in the rebel !VACS of Texas. They are having a glorious time of it down in Texas ! Governor LIIBBLICK waxes confident and grandiloquent. He thinks the Confederacy could well afford to fortify such places as 'Vicksburg and Port Hudson, and surrender them upon the same terms. Could she, indeed i Let her fortify them, then. The message says that, nearly a year ago, sixty-eight thousand five hundred men 'were in the Texan service, leaving in the - state only twenty-seven thousand men be tvhen the ages of sixteen and sixty. The sixty-eight thousand have increased to ninety thotisand, and consequently leave but fifty five hundred men to repeople the annihi lated ranks. How long can rebellion keep itself afloat on such a reserve force i Governor Lunnuex speaks of the wants of the soldiers who are battling for -their country, and suggests that the Con federate authorities be authorized to put to hard labor, in the. State Penitentiary, all soldiers, within the limits of the State, who may tie convicted of desertion, and all per sons encouraging desertion or harboring deserters ; such labor to be for the benefit of those in the field. The wants of these fifty-five hundred who shall support the fresh levy must indeed be magnificent, if - they cannot be supplied ten times over by the forced labor of those deserters whom the Governor Lonstrex is so kind as to re- Commend to the tender mercies of the peni tentiary. General 31.suritn:nra wants the - Federal prisoners of war accommodated at the penitentiary, likewise ; but Governor Ltrenucx will not hear of it. The report of the directors of the Texas State Peni tentiary goes to show that the- working of the institution is of incalculable benefit to the cause of the State and the Confederacy; so much so, indeed, that Governor Luis- BUCK objects to the introduction there of Federal prisoners of war, in accordance with General MAortunFat's request, on the ground that it would incur the risk of de struction to the sole manufactory of cloth west of the Mississippi. The Texan Governor admits that the rebel currency is in a sadly deteriorated condi tion; concludes that everything will come Tight by and bye, and congratulates Texas upon her bright and unsullied escutcheon. His promise that he and his coadjutors are going to turn over a new leaf in the way of forgetting private interests, and foregoing the love of money, ease, and luxury, reflects infinite credit upon the very large number whom he feels it his painful duty to desig nate as devoting themselves entirely to the wild hunt after wealth. In Texas the Con federate treasury notes are less appreciated thalf in any state of the Confederacy, and it is recommended that this and other evils be remedied by vigorous taxation. The citizens of Texas living in the coun ties bordering upon the navigable portions of the streams and within fifty miles of the coast, are called upon by General Ma- Guymon to remove their able-bodied male slaves at once, at any cost, and at all hazards, farther into the interior, or he will be forced to drive them before him with his cavalry in haste and without regard to their wellbeing ! This appeal is made to all those who reside in counties within fifty miles of the coast from Corpus Christi and Galveston inclusive. One interesting item in the news from Texas is the novel view which is taken of cotton as a basis of exchange for army sup plies. The policy proposed is to purchase one half of the cotton of the planters or holders, and on its delivery at a Government depot, or other place agreed upon, to give an exemption against military impressment fora like quantity. It will be seen that if Texas has got her self into an unpleasant position, Governor Lonnucx, General 31Aonuoun, and the whole raft of their alders and abettors, are still more intricately involved. The cause of the Union has not advanced thus far, to be smothered and extinguished in Texan borders. The several State Governments are being reset in the golden enclosure of the Union, and shall, ere long, group them selves harmoniously around the Govern ment and Constitution of the United States, as maintained at the national capital. Mr. Justice Shee. The Catholic Emancipation Act of 1829, the procuring of which was the real glory of O'ColsisELL's career of agitation, de clared that Catholics should be eligible to all judicial offices in Great Britain and Ire land, except the Chancellorship of England and Ireland. This principle of preferring merit without regard to religious belief has been carried out in Ireland, fairly and suc cessfully. The Chief Justice there, Mr. MONACILAN, is a Catholic, and so are seve ral other occupants of the bench. In Eng land, nothing of this sort was done. A few weeks ago, when a vacancy occurred in the Court of Exchequer there, Mr. Sergeant SERE was named by public opinion and, by the profession as one who deserved the ap pointment. It was understood, however, that the Duke of Argyle, a strong Presby terian, objected to the placing of a Roman Catholic upon the English bench, and that the Lord Chancellor, with whom the judi cial patronage mainly rests, yielded to the objection, though with reluctance, and ap pointed Mr. Sar.r.. The recent death of Sir Wrrimem WIOHTMAN, one of the Judges of the Queen's Bench, again made a vacan cy, and, without delay or demur, it has been filled up by the appointment of Wriaahaa SHE; Sergeant-at-lffw. He is the first Catholic Judge since the year 1687. He has occasionally acted as Judge on his own Circuit, 'and there won golden opinions. This appointment will go far to conciliate public opinion towards the Palmerston Ad ministration, not only in Ireland, but also in England. It pulls down, at last, the long-cherished i.dol of intolerance. Mr. Justice SHER, as we may now call him, was born in Thomastamt, county of Kilkenny, Ireland, in .181)4; was educated at Ushaw R. C. College, Durham, and at Edinburgh; called to the bar in June, 1828; married in 1837 ; was created a Sergeant-at law in 1840 ; received a patent of prece dence in 1845; and took his seat in the House of Commons, as member for his na tive county, July, 1852. His practice has been wholly at the English bar, and he has long been a successful leader of tho Home Circuit. His personal appearance is much in his favor. Tall and well-built, his comely features were set oil with snow-white hair, and still he never looked within ten years of his age. Mr_ Justice &TEE. has several re. lations in this city, respectable persons, whose industry has placed them in easy circumstances. TEE UNITED STATES is a great solar system, and the Constitution is the sun around which that system revolves. Var down into the intricate depths that luminary flashes its light. It is surrounded by States which are worlds in themselves, but the light of whose glory is reflected from the central sun, upon whose existence` theirs depends. The United States feels confident that there is nothing in the future or in the past to shame or to dismay. In her treatment of the nations of the earth she is influenced by neither fear nor favor, and she sanctions her Executive in every public act of his momen tous life. The United States is a great ma chine ; a wonderful piece of mechanism. The work it turns out is human freedom. Some people say that it is grown rusty, and needs oiling. The truth is that there is a screw loose down South. But that will soon be put to rights, and we shall go on smoother than ever. EVERYBODY is supposed to knew how to take care of himself. 'I his supposition is erroneous. A. number of well-intentioned people are entirely destitute of that know ledge. They are, consequently, continually hampered. How to live, assumes to them the aspect of a vital question. To such we say, if you are a good cook, a fair business - - woman, highly respectable, and capable of giving the best of references, thoroughly ac quainted with the art of winning the ,affec tions of servants, then, by all means, keep a boarding. house. There are not near enough boarding-houses in the city. Phila delphians are not Brooklynite% They are as utterly without first-class boarding-houses as they are destitute of starvation-rows of tenement-houses. All the good boarding houses of the city are full. If any enter prising housekeeper, with the above-named recommendations, would make a comfort able living, we prophesy her success would be next door to that of the man who can keep a hoteL REDUCTIO AD ABSIIEDIDI.—A Richmond paper acknowledges that the rebellion is reduced to this dilemma : "If the people are fed, the army must suffer ; it the army is fed, the people will starve ; am 4 if the people starve, what's the use of the army ?" JEFF DAVIS would ask, what's the use of the people ? In any case, what is the use of the rebellion ? TEE Evurawa TELEGuAPU, a new paper, made its appearance yesterday, and the first number is very creditable to its publisher, Mr. J. BARCLAY HARDING. The lelegraph, it is announced will be a loyal journal, and it has our best wishes for its success. OP THE two Presidents, the Richmond Sentinel writes : " But closely as these were_types of th e factions for whom they acted, it is doubtful. whether there ever lived rulers who have combined in them selves so many of the elements of the peoples whom they re_present, as Jefferson Davis and Abraham Lincoln." A LETTER from a Secesh lady in New Orleano to n friend in Mobile, was recently captured, and reveals the fears of the Secessionists. Among other re 'Marks of the kind, occurs thelallowiag amusing and significant passage siThe work of spolistion iw going on rapidly, and the Yankee officers are locat ing their families with an air of permanency ttnl distressing." THE RiOhllloDei Whig says: "The President wet: when he heard of the misfortune of Gen. Bragg at Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge. Cer tainly the President was veryrmtek attached to that Ueneral." 2:13: LITHE FROM "000ASIO1AlL." WasurnoTori; January 4, 1864 Any one who desires a perfect specimen of the effect of the war for the Union upon the loyal people of the South has only now to read a single copy of such papers as the Baltimore American. I might instance the Louisville Journal or the St. Louie Re publican, or the papers established since the beginning of this conflict for the Union and against slavery, in Virginia, Tennessee, and Louisiana ; but I prefer the Ameri can, because' it is nearer to Washing ton and more familiar to the free States. An industrious newspaper is a good mir ror of the community by which it is surrounded. If it prospers the community prospers, and what it says must be regarded, in some sense, as ex cathedra. As I write I hold in my hand the Baltimore American of the second of January, and I find that it entered on its sixty-fifth anniversary on the first of the present month ; that it has been printed twenty-one thousand and two days, and that it forms one hundred and twenty four complete volumes. What a record and a contrast this statement suggests to the historian ! Here is a journal that has survived more than two generations, and is now the living representative of great and eternal principles ; a journal at the head of which have been some of the ablest writers of Maryland, and which has contended against many of the doctrines it now advocates. The old editors are dead and gone, but the truths preached by the new ones will live forever. After all, what a moral,what an example, and what an admo nition are to be found in the files of a great public journal ! The business of the American has so increased, to use the language of the editor himself, "that at the commencement of the war, he doubled his facilities for rapid printing, and.gter the lapse of two years, is compelled again - to order new presses of a rapidity of speed double that which was more than sufficient at the beginning of the year just closed." Here, again, we have a text upon which a long sermon might be preached. Suppose the Baltimore American had begun on the wrong side of this question, not to compare it to the extinct Exchange, or the suppressed Gasette, and that it had been even neutral, keeping itself near enough the. precipice of treason, and yet not too close to be pushed over by the provost marshal, what would have been its fate ? Observe, also, in vindication of this re mark that the most prosperous papers every where are those that sustain the Government unconditionally, and that those who main tain themselves in New York-Philadelphia, and Boston, while abusing the Government, are supported by subsidies and personal con tributions. In this remark I must not be understood as saying that the loyal journals in the United States thrive because they are strongly backed by the Government. Their prosperity and expanded and expanding circulation result almost entirely from the people, and I am not without hope that the time is at hand when the Government itself will insist that the hundreds and thousands who are being enriched by it shall at the same time contribute to instead of opposing its devoted friends. At one head of the column from which take the first above quoted extract, I notice that " the Southern symfmthizers of the Qom Exchange in Baltimore," to use the lan guage of the American, "having put in nomination a ticket for the election on Mon day next (to-day) composed almost entirely of those who have defied, derided, and de nounced the Government, the loyal mem bers have presented a Union ticket,, com posed of gentlemen of high standing and integrity in our business community." And the American strikes the key-note, which will be responded to all over the country, and which I would especially commend to the War and Navy Departments here, when it says "that there are large numbers pre tending loyalty for the purpose of securing Government contracts who are expecteino sustain the Fort Warren ticket. These gen tlemen are reminded that the eyes of the Commissary of Subsisten,ce are upon, theirs." The leader of, the American scores, with just indignation, that portion of the Balti more clergy who on Christmas day refused to utter proper denunciations against the rebellion and slavery. lam pleased to no tice that this scoring is,producing good re sults, and that correspondents flock to its columns to commend the courage of the independent journalist. In this connection I must repeat what I have so frequently said, and always believed, that there is no creature more infamous, no wretch more debased, than he who, appointed to admin ister and to illustrate the word of God, ascends the pulpit and refuses to de nounce this war against the only really Christian Government off the face of the earth. The crime of such a man is a greater crime and a greater scandal when he re maine in a loyal State, The courageous rebel preacher, like a fallen angel, al ways goes Into the hotter place— namely, to the rebel States—and there lifts his voice and his arm in favor of Satan hlinself. What sort of loyalty and obedience can be expected of a congrega tiOn tha4 sits under the teaching and preach ing of a Clergyman, calling himself a divine, who refuses to condemn tide sacrilegious warfare against freedom and agaii,',t God, or who openly sustains it ? With a dis honest shepherd you cannot expect a pious and faithful flock. The Monumental City is in itself to-day one of the grandest monuments of the power, prowess, and progress of our coun try since this war began. Every candid man feels and says that but for the heroism and promptitude of the Executive, Balti more to-day would be a desolation. Instead of hotels crowded with visitors, enriching their proprietors, merchants trading success fully and profitably, railroads crowded with passengers and transportation, Northern capital pouring into its environs, and ready to invest so as to apply for the first time its wonderful water powers to manufactur ing uses, and every branch and class of so ciety vivified and invigorated—the rich growing richer and the poor more comforta ble—it would be another Richmond, an arena of strife, and doubt, and despair; an em bryo Golgotha, in which the scene so terri bly described in Byron's " Darkness" may soon be realized, so far as the society of the slaveholder is ‘ concerned. Let those who desire a - new proof of the indomitable and irresistible majesty and, strength of the Ame rican Republic lay this single chapter to heart and be satisfied. Occestorran. The Artist Fund Reception. The Artist Fund Society held their first reception of the present season, at the Academy of the Fine Arts, last evening. A numerous and select company gathered in compliance with their invitation, and passed avery pleasant evening in such desultory in portion as the crowd would permit one of the best -collections of Philadelphia pictures ever seen upon the walls of the Academy. Many of the works were of unusual merit—two by Mr. Tames Hamilton, per haps, bearing off the palm, while the exhibition, as a whole, was of such excellence as to make it a source of genuine regret that so- few profited by it. The object of the reception was to awaken public interest in the Old Artist Fund Society, of which little or nothing has been known for the last thirty years by the outside world. As the name indicates, it is an association for the mutual benefit of the artist members, and it is proposed to bring it into greater prominence by means of receptions like that of last evening, and of such other influences au may sug gest themselves. It is becoming imperatively ne cessary for us, if we are not willing to lose all our best artists, to take greater interest in them and their.worke, and any movement which, like this of the Artist Fund Society, promises to increase the sympathy of the public in such matters, deserves the heartiest commendation. This we are sure will not be withheld, while our readers will join with us in congratulating the members of the- Fund on the ate:yeas of their that reception. Emancipation Day in Portland.

The discussion of this subject has not yet 'ended, and it I. interesting to mark the various opinions_ which have been volunteered as the judgment of the . press. The Times itself gives a newspaper full of (posementa all in Its own fever, and ridiculing Mr. Cobden. TommielS on this side of the water are balanced in favor of the Time impersonality, and on the other hand maintaining that Mr. CobdenMs achieved all the success he could have desired in exhibiting the Times and its editor to the world. This view is borne out at last, and Mr. Cobden has undoubtedly achieved a _triumph in making the Times, in the person of Mr. John T. Delane, its editor, amenable, "face to face,” to the intelligent and honest sentiment of England. Mr. Cobden's lettere are written with consideratle warmth and earnestness, but their sin cerity and truth are of great value and effect in the genuine and permanent opinion of the public. To this severe handling, the intrinsic justice of which will not be disputed by those who have watched the truculent and time serving behavior of the "dignified" Times upon the American- question, Mr. Delane's answers are habitually cool, eve. sive, and unfair. What he has gained by libel ling Mr. Bright and Mr. Cobden, in the first place and in the second, by appearing outside of his impersonality to defend a wilful misrepresents. tion, it, is extremely difficult to perceive. As we hiive already said, the moral victory of courage, fairness, and truth, remains with Mr. Bright, what ever tactical advantage the Times editor may have at hand in the columns of a monster newspaper. The moment Mr. Delano, from the necessity of the situation, yielded to the challenge of Mr. Cobden, be gave the latter a victory which he could not honorably avoid. .Mr. Cobden has succeeded in say ing what he thought of the Times; has established in candid minds that himself and Mr. Bright were deliberately misrepresented, and has held his con. troversy with the personality of the editor of the Times. This bad oracle is no longer a mystery, and has lost something of its prestige. This the world perceives, and the Timer has been for once defeated in its cunning by an honest arraignment at the bar of public opinion. Bow the matter is viewed in the gossip of the great Babel, is beet set forth in the correspondence of the Tribune. Of the corrupt relations between the Times and the Ministry, which Mr. Cobden threatens to expose in Patliament, the correspondent says : "I hope, from my soul, that he will do so; and could fancy no better report than to see the IthuriePs spear of truth, wielded by plain Richard Cobden, compelling the huge toad who is perpetually squat. tang at the ear of comatose Bit:tennis, pouring into it ell sorts of evil suggestions, to start up in its own proper fiendish likeness. For it is perfectly well known among the inner circle of journalists and public men that the Times is as venal, in its own way, as—say the New York Herald. It wields' greater power, and demands a proportionate price, that is all. 'then the father of this very John T. Delane, from whose features Mr. Cobden has so Un ceremonimasly knocked the mask of the anonymous, retired from - the position now held by his son, it was to a county-court' treasuryship, as good as a pension of £BOO a year, from a grateful Govern ment, and the gossip of the clubs and newspapers is prolific of other shyly.intimated good things' set ting in the same direction." ' Regarding the " greatgathering " of "comments," which the Times]republished to bolster its position, we have the following hash of newspapers t “As Falstaff offered Bardolph for a security for an honest taking-up' of a commodity of cloth ; as the pi overb asserts that gaily stick is good enough to beat a dog,' so the Times eagerly availed itself of all accessories after the fact. Everybody was wel come, from its fellow libeler, the Saturday Reviler down to Scilly Islands Serpent, the Stoke Pogis Scribbler, or the Isle of Dogs' Daily. Never was such a rush to the rescue of a literary garroter and the mobbing of the resisting victim. Of course, the London press, with one or two noble exceptions, improved the op. portunity, for, hating the Times as it universally does, it yet bates Cobden and Bright 'much more. Accordingly, it formed itself into what a humorous correspondent of the Daily News denominates ' a ragged metropolitan bodyguard' to the leading journal, comprising—l quote his description, sup• plying elucidationa—' a pious pot-boy (the Adver- tiser), a scavenger with the largest crossing in the world (the Telegraph), a valet with a valet'. vocabu lary and vanity (the Morning Post), a monster bill sticker and a nightman , (the Herald and Standard). 'lf,' adds the lively writer, 'the Times had aseembl all the street-organs round the window of his most intimate enemy, he could hardly have inflicted a more intolerable nuisance upon a quiet and inoffen sive public.' I need not remark that, with its characteristic fairness, nothing on the other side of the question was permitted to appear in the Times. That, however, was remedied by the always honor able and candid Daily News.” Following this we are invited to a sensible expo- Ttles libel. "Now, let us See," . says the correspondent, " what the Times did say, and compare it with this interpretation:" "This language, so often repeated, and so calm latedto excite discontent among the poor and half informed, has really only one intelligible meaning. 'Reduce the electoral franchise ; for when you have done so, you will obtain an Assembly which wilt seine on the estates of the proprietors of land, AND DIVIDE THEM OB.ATIIITOUSLY AMONG THE P00R. , " That is the Times' editorial comment on the Rochdale speeches, and I should like to see a clearer charge put into plainer English. The thing really amount ed to an actionable libel, and had it not been prompt- ly met toed crushed, there is not a grain or doubt that the Times would have permitted in it, and in using it to the infinite damage of the influence of Bright and Cobden. Only those can realize the amount of this who Are aware of the immense number of people in England who "never read any other paper" than The Times, who believe in it constitutionally, and accept its conclusions withoxt question. However, The Times may assume the airs of a victorious bul ly, whistling all his dogs, big and little, about him, as he retires from the field, it has been soundly whipped. Not for the first time either, despite its bulk and swagger. More than one Henry Berkeley arraigned it at the bar of public opinion ;Prhackeray wrote "An Essay on Thunder and Small.beer," which raised an uproarious laugh against Printing- House Square, securing immunity for himself from thenceforth ; and only last year, Mr. Herman, M. P., had Mr. Waiter up at the bar of the House of Commons, when he tore the mask off his face just as effectually as Mr. Cobden has that covering Mr. Helene's, and pinned "the member for Berkshire as responsible for The slanders and mis representations. Mr. Cobden and Mr. Bright are not what is called "popular." They have dared to run counter to popular prejudices ; they did not see the justice or prudence of the Crimean war, are chronically op. posed to the British Government as it is adminis tered, and are radical friends of the American Re public. Herein are both their advantage and disad vantage. To those who consider the highest accomplish ment of a journalist to manufacture falsehood with a polish, and diplomatize the truth into a lie, some thing in this extract may be commended Very much has been said about Mr. Cobden'. " anger" and The Times' " coolness," it being gra tuitously assumed that of two disputants the warm est is generally in the wrong. Long ago, Charles Lamb told us his opinion of that fallacy. " Our experience," says he, "would lead us to quite an opposite conclusion. Temper, indeed, is no teat of truth but warmth and earnestness are a proof at least of a mauls own conviction of the rectitude of that Wide& be maintains. Coolness is as often the result of unprincipled indifference to truth or false hood as of sober confidence in a man's own side in a ditinfte."—a sentence which might be commended to Mr. Helene. Again, his opponent is condemned for adopting a friend's quarrel, and especially that of a man so well able to defend himself as John Bright. This charge involves a compliment ; I will dismiss it and the subject with a pertinent anecdote. Horace Walpole relates that Gen. Sutton, a choleric man, was with Sir Robert Walpole, a remarkably even tempered one, one day, when the valet of the latter was shaving him. "John, you cut me," said his master, calmly, and went on with the conversation.

Among Other offices which he bar held were those of District Attorney of Craw ford county, Pennsylvania, in 1847, and Attorney General of New Mexico in MI. He was elected to the Legislature from Crawford county for the Be.. don of 1863, and was re-elected in October last. He has been long known as a member of the legal fra ternity. The absence of Senator White, who represents Indiana and Armstrong counties, and who is now a prisoner at Richmond, leaves the Senate with a tie vote. It will be claimed that in this case the exist• lag officers of the Senate are entitled to retain their positions and conduct business until their successors are elected. If this be conceded by the Democratic members, which is not probable, the Senate win organize immediately. Otherwise, the contest may be prolonged at least during the present week. The Democratic members of the House held a eau cum this evening and made the following nomina tions : For Speaker—Cyrus Perishing, of riao2bria Chief Clerk—Jacob Ziegler. Assistant, Clerk—Milton Spear, of Huntingdon. Sergeant. atarms—John A. Hern, of Philadelphia. Other officers were also nominated.

A private letter, from an officer who has just left Eastern Tennessee, says that that section of country can Subsist an army during the winter. The open ing of communication with Chattanooga will also facilitate the transtniation of supplies which cannot be obtained there. So there will be plenty to eat.— Tribune. The Homestead Law. The following is an extract from a letter dated December 29, 1863, from the Commissioner of the General Land Office to Register and Receiver lonia, Michigan : A. homestead settler has not a complete legal right, but merely an inceptive title, liable to be de feated for non•performance of conditions, and can therefore only use the timber for fencing, building, fuel or repairs. Under the bounty . of Congress, he is permitted to acquire a homestead on the public domain for agri cultural purposes, on the condition of n settlement and cultivation for five years." Until this condition is satisfied, he cannot commit waste by felling the timber for market, as the land reverts to the United States on failure to comply with the terms of the law. As to any supposed purchase by a party from the homestead settler, no right can attach under such sale. The homestead settler has no power to sell; hence the timber cut on the land is liable to seizure by the United States. THE CHESAPEAKE PIRATES, THEIR TRIAL AT ST. JOHN, N. B. Sm. Sonx (N. B.), Jan. 4.—The examination of Collins, McKinney, and Seely, 'margin with being concerned in the Chesapeake piracy, commenced before the police magisirates this morning. At the outlet, the counsel for the prisoners took exception to the form of the warrant, and contended that the case did not come within the provisions of the ex tradition treaty, as the offence was conimitted on the high seas and not within the American jurisdic tion. The magistrate reserved his judgment on these points. Captain Willet's evidence Was then taken, when he modified his first statement as to the number of Allots fired at him. He now says there were two or * three. His evidence was substantiallY the same as in his published statement. The exami nation was then adjourned till Wednesday. The court room was crowded with spectators, but they evinced but little excitement. THE INDIAN TERRITORY. A Rebel Defeat near Fort Gllbsou.

PaoPoen]) AMENDMENTS OP THE ENROLMENT AcT.—The Washington correspondentof the New York Post gives the annexed summary of the dif• resent amendments of the conscription law now under consideration: The most radical amendment comes from the Pal- Mary Committee, and proposes to strike out the commutation clause altogether. Mr. Hendrick., of Indiana, proposes two amendments, one dividing persons liable to draft into two classes—the unmar ried and the married—and the other providing that in ease the commutation clause is struck out, all married men may pay the sum of s3oo' to the Seers. tarp of War, for which sum they shall be exempt from service for the term of three years. It further provides that, if the person drafted be a laboring man. whose yearly income is less than s4ooper year, and it his unincumbered property be less them $7OO, he shall be permitted to commute for the aunt of $l5O. Senator Howe brings forward a novel preposi tiOn, which is, that in any given district the commu tation money shall be equally divided among those persons who are drafted and enter the service, the money to be paid in three instalments, at the end of each year's service. Senator Wilson has of f ered an amendment, pro viding that all persons in the rebel States who choose to volunteer into therservice may do so, being enti tled to all the benefits and privileges of existing laws, cleating what regiments they will join. rt probable that the commutation feature of the exuding law will be retained in some shape. If it should be rejected, then it is possible that one of Kr. Hendricks amendments would receive considers tion—that permitting married men to pay $lOO or $6OO, receiving therefor a certificate of exemption for three years. If the commutation clause of the enrolment act is abollahedytwo important amend ments will be adopted: one giving the drafted per son thirty instead of ten days 1101' which he may secure a substitute, if he is so disposed, and another providing that any drafted person may offer a colored man as a substitute. Letter from Castle-Thunder. We have been permitted, says_the Missouri Re publican, to make the following extract of a letter from Junius H.

REBEL OPERATIONS IN THE SHENANDOAIt VALLEY. Fits Lee's Cavalry near Mt. Jackson. WAOHINGTON, Tan. 4.—The rumors of the eneo my'sdesigns and operations in the Shenandoah Val ley are exaggerated. Fitz Lee's Cavalry, of perhaps 1,000, supported by Early's three meagre brigades of foot, with /MbOden end other 100a1 leaders, with small detachments, numbering, ail told, 6.006 i or 7,000 men, are near Woodstock and Mount Jrakson, with an occasional dash as 'far north as 'Winchester. The latest indications point to the Moorefield valley, if not wait od the moun tains, as their scene of operations. Certainly they have not as yet appeared• in sight of the 1241tintore and Ohio Railroad, the train' of which are all run ning regularly and successfully with large quanti ties of freight and many passengers. The best evi dence of official confidenoe in the security of the route is the sending of important detachments ever it. CHARLESTON. The Attack on the tate& State Gunboat Marblehead. FIGHT IN STONO INLET WASHINGTON, Jen. 4.—The Navy Department bee received official information in relation to the at tack upon the gunboat Marblehead , in Stono Inlet, on Chriidmaa morning, by which Robert Brown, Lorenzo D. Shaw, and Joseph Phillips were killed, and Charles Moon, Alexander Henderson, John Hackett, and Charles Semmee, wounded. Commander Belch, of.the Pawnee, says: .g At 6 20 on the morning of the 2ith of December the enemy opened on the Marblehead, which was replied to vigorously. At 6 bbthe Pawnee opened fare on the enemy's batteries from her one-hundred pound rifle gun. At 7 o'clock the GP. Will lams, 011 hearing the firing, slipped her cable and came down Follysiver under sail, and opened are handsomely ; the rapid are from the three vessels soon caused the enemy to retreat, and at '7.30 the enemy had ret:eated in dieerder, leaving two of his guns in the batteries. The Pawnee then proceeded offlegaresville. Soon alter this Gen. Gordon, commanding the troops at the south end of Folly Island. came upend said that if the Pawnee would cover the advance, he would send an Infantry force to bring-ow the nns which the enemy had left. The force was accordingly sent, and everything denoted that the enemy had made a precipitate retreat. The Marblehead was struck 20 times, and much injured. Her officers and men stood to the guns until the enemy had retreated. She has twelve shots in her hull, one between wind and water, eighteen shots struck in the upper works and aloft, and one 30.pousider shell lodged in the steerage, but did not explode, which shows that the enemy had something more thew mere field-pieces. The enemy's guns were brought away by an eve dition from the three vessels., NORFOLK, TA. bil - estigat ions by a ,NEilltary Conan/asslen - Profitable Steamboat Charters. NORFOLK, Jan. 4.—The Military Commission, of which General I. J. Wistar L president, has been in seed= during the put week in this city. The case of J. M. Hunt, late superintendent of vessels at Fortress Monroe, is being tried, and the develop ments are exceedingly interesting. Among the..., points elicited are the payment of 0,000 of fees to Senator Hale by Hunt to get him out of the old Capitol Prison. To day Captain Coney of the steamer John A. Warner, was - on the stand, and testified that the boat was worth about $65,000 when she Heat went into Government service, and that, at the rate of her charter she had earned $173,600 up to date; that the Government had supplied her with coal, and that her running expenses were from $l,OOO to $1,200 per month, which_were defrayed by goods sold on board, and by the profits on meals and berths ; she belongs to the Delaware-river Steamboat Company, of which John Piice Wetherill, of Philadelphia, is president, and Andrew 311. Anderson, William T. Allen, Willett Paxson, and Samuel Harlan, Jr., are directors. Captain Cone swears that her first charter was made with John Tucker, late Assistant Secretary or War, and the second with Quartermaster Meigs. The prosecution has overhauled other fat jobs in the steamboat line.- As the evidence stands thus far it appears as if there had been a ring of contractors which interlocks with one at Baltimore, with which Belger was connected. Among others, there is the case of the steamer West End, an old boat which was offered at New York at $5,600, but was chartered to the Govern ment from March, 0562, to October, 1863, at $36,500 per annum. CIRICINN al. Reply of Gen. Wood to Gen. Roseerans 9 Re port—The Bitter Cold Weather—Travel and Navigation Stopped—Soldiers Frozen to Death. CINCINNATI, Jan, 4.—General Rosecrans' official report of the battle of Chickamauga is published to-day, together with the reply of General Thomas L. Wood to a portion of it. General Rosecrans at tributes the gaps opened on the line of battle through which the rebels poured, deciding the for tunes of the day adversely to us, to Wood's erro neous conclusion that obeying the order to close up on General Reynolds, he had to withdraw from the line and pass tope rear of General Brannan. Wood, In reply, shows that Brannan was in line betwson -.his end Reynolds' divisions, and that he could not obey the order to support the latter with out withdrawing and palling in the rear of Bran nan9a division, and that the order being peremptory .and urgent, he had no discretionary power, and simply obeyed orders. The point seems to pe clearly made against Rosecrans.—Bulletin. CINCINNATI, Jan. 4 —lt has been snowingsteadily since last evening. We have a prospect of good sleighing.

(POE ADDITIONAL CITY 2TRW9, SHE VOMITS PAGEa Tan HELEN 9-Rm.—Yesterday, pre cisely at noon, a select party from the Corn Ex change assembled at Heron's wharf, above Vine street, for the purpose of making a private examina tion of a blockade-runner, built at Savannah now the property of Edmund A. Souder & Co., and others, which was ca p tured as - ,a blockade-runner into Wilmington, and has been purchased by the above firm, and is now being fitted up for the service of United State. to be used as an ordinary gunboat (being a light draught steamer), for inland service. Tbie vessel ii well built of live oak, and. is of about 500 tons, with great capacity between decks. She is a very fast sailor, and was formerly known as the Spauldic g,but now bearethe better name of the Helen Getty—being called after the youngest daughter of Archibald Getty, Esq., of the firm of E. A. Souder & Co. • We need scarcely say that Mr. Gettyls president of the Corn Exchange Association, whose loyalty and liberality have been remarkably displayed du ring the present war. Mr. Getty also has charge of the steamboat department of the extensive firm of which he is a member. The entertainment yester day was got up by Captain Alexander H. Schultz, in a superior manner, and at the shortest notice. This gentleman has personally superintended the alterations, and the improvements, which will make the Helen Getty one of the finest boats in the United States service. A sumptuous repast was laid out in the principal saloon, and various loyal and personal toasts and sentiments were given and responded to by Henry Budd, Esq., Alexander G. Cattell, Edward G. James, Esq., Archibald Getty, Ertl, Samuel L. Witmer, Esq., Charles Knecht, Esq., Thos. O'Neill, Esq., Colonel Thomas Fitzgerald, Dr. Shelton Mac kenzie, and other,. The whole proceedinge occupied about two hours. PENNSYLVANIA- RAILROAD COMPANY.— Tti! grfiZt - company ciesires to nil up a sup on tt.",t; prope - rty below Washington avenue, on the Dela ware. This is necessary in order to allow certain extensive improvements now being made in that part of the city front. The subject was brought to the notice of the port warden. yesterday', at a Testi• lar meeting held by them. Mr. Obee. S. Wayne, the master warden, Was in the chair. A motion was made that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company be authorized to till in their slip on their property near the navy yard, upon complying with the act of Assembly of April 15, Mil Quite an animated discussion ensued on this sub ject ; the difference of opinion among the members prevented any definite action. SKATE THIEVES.—A correspondent in forms us that four young men, who were returning yesterday afi ernoon from skating, were attacked by a gang of disorderly thieves a short distance west of the Market-street bridge. One of the aggressed party received a severe gash on his head, at the hands of the disreputable gang. During the affray, the rioters used ice, and other hardisubraances, with which they pelted the young men. This is not the first occasion of the kind this winter. Many per sons would visit the skating park if proper protect non was afforded- them on the return. The mana gers of the park should officially communicate with Mayor Henry' n the - subject, and it is quite likely that order wilt then "'reign in' Warsaw." NINETY-FIFTH BEGIICENT.—The friends of the 95th Regiment Pennsylvania 'Volunteers hold a meeting last eiening at blaultria,-on Decatur street, for the purpose of making arrangements to give this regiment a reception. A letter was received from the regiment stating that the whole body could not come - at once. The sudden making of ice in the streams, the falling of snow, Ste., bad so temporarily deranged travel that the regiment would come to Philadelphia in compa nies or squads. This, of course, will prevent a re ception. • FRATING POND.—For the small - stun of twentyfive cents, a person may be admitted to the Skating Pond of the Philadelphia Skating Park As sociation, on the west side of the Schuylkill, month of the Market•street bridge. The park offers great facilities to skaters. Besides this, it is rather gra tifying to know that, should the'ice bresk4n, there is no danger of any one being drowned. . LEG BRONEN.--A lad named Jacob•Sinith, nine years of age, was run over yesterday afternoon by a wagon containing barrels, in the sinking . of Front and Words streets, and had his leg broken.
